DAFNE project
DAFNE is a research project funded by Italian Ministry of Scientific Research and Education. It aims to provide assistance to universities and academic associations for the development and dissemination of scholarly communication.
DAFNE involves five important Italian firm: Ariadne (ICT) , Bassilichi (e-commerce), Bibliografica (Publisher), Parco Scientifico e tecnologico Galileo (ICT), Casalini (Bookseller).
The Scientific Committee of the project is composed by; three Italian universities (Bologna, Firenze and Padova), IDG, BNCF, and the Il Mulino Library.
The objective of DAFNE is to set up a prototype of national infrastructure for the electronic publications (mainly serials). Technological and organizational aspects will be taken into account in order to disseminate the Italian publications (mainly in the field of human sciences) at international level
Aim
The purpose of the Seminar is to stimulate thought and discussion about the priorities of the academic world in this period of change:
· Has the state-of-the-art advanced sufficiently to meet current needs?
· What does academic world say about the type of services needed?
Four types of scholarship, which we shall call inquiry, integration, teaching and application will provide the framework for the international meeting:
· inquiry (advancing of knowledge in a given field);
· integration (integrating knowledge through the structuring of a curriculum);
· teaching (transforming knowledge through the challenging intellectual work involved in teaching)
· application (applying knowledge to a compelling problem in the community).
Contributions and experiences at national and international level will contribute to scope and finalize the first phase of the DAFNE project.
Target audience
It is an invitational seminar (40 people max)
· Academic world (Professors, Researchers involved in Digital Library Programs, Project managers of University presses)
· Library Managers and Technical experts (Heads of relevant library departments, such as Preservation Departments and ICT Departments; Project Managers of Digital Library Programmes)
